Like the eventual acceptance of continental drift, acceptance of a symbiotic theory of cell evolution has often been hailed as a scientific revolution The woman most responsible for bringing the idea to scientific respectability is Lynn Margulis. A prolific writer and dynamic speaker, Margulis captivates audiences and often irritates more traditional biologists with her unorthodox ideas. A profile in Science described her as an unruly provocateur, but as one of the world's leading authorities on cellular evolution, she supports her claims with abundant evidence. Although many biologists continue to disagree with some of her ideas, everyone takes endosymbiosis seriously.
